Recovering Data on an iPhone?

I am trying to recover some important data that accidentallly got deleted on my iPhone. can any one recomend a program that wull do this? I tried to use Disk Drill Media Recovery, which a friemd recommended. It sees my iPhne but then it says to set it into "Mass Storage Mode" and since I could not find how to do that, so I went to their website and there it says that it can not handle the Iphone files, So looks like I wasted some money buying it. I really need the information that I lost, so I am willing to try anything/
Thank you all

Well, if you got the right hardware/software, you can recover just about anything from any computer/device. The only surefire way to prevent such is to toss your phone into a blast furnace. However, the right equipment to try & recover data from your phone is not cheap, and generally not available to most users.
Unless you carried nuclear launch codes on your phone, you don't have anything to worry about.
You can safely ignore Simple Apple's post.

What can I do to recover data from my iPhone 4s? The phone fail to come on again after the installation of the new iOS8. The phone is locked and I didn't make any backup before the updating installation. Inside I have very important info.

I Have problems with my iPhone 4s after the installation of the new iOS8, the phone doesn't want to switch on again. I need to recover some important data that I have inside the phone.

There isn't anything you can do to recover contents from iPhone 4s if you cannot get the iPhone to startup. Connect it to a wall outlet so you have a solid power source, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider if that appears. If the iPhone still will not startup, the next options to try will automatically erase your iPhone all of its contents.
The next step is to do a restore via the recovery mode as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 but again note that this erases the iPhone.
Thank you Landry, it is really a good experience to solve problem of iPhone Data Recovery!

Getting data off an iPhone 4 with failed backup?

I have an iPhone 4 which I tried upgrading to 6.1.3 while it was NOT CONNECTED TO A COMPUTER. The upgrade failed, and my phone gives the USB to iTunes icon. When I plug it in to a computer now, iTunes says it is in recover mode and I must restore it before I can use it with iTunes.
This iPhone was only ever backed-up on a computer that was lost, so there isn't any record of any of it's data on any other machine. Since I wasn't connected to iTunes when attempting to upgrade, it wouldn't have created any backup during upgrade on a computer. The phone has lot of pictures of my kids on it that I would really love to get, but I don't know if there is any way to access the data from the phone. I'm hesitant to perform any restore with iTunes because I expect it will overwrite the data.
Are there any programs that I can use to recover data DIRECTLY FROM THE PHONE, or forensic specialists who mught be able to access it? Or do I need to just accept the loss and move on?

I already tried:
Plugging into a PC (it said device driver failed to install properly)
PLugging into a Mac with iTunes and iExplore (says the phone needs to be restored before it can be used with iTunes)

There are a number of commercial products on the market that "claim" to be able to recover data from an iPhone. You can Google them yourself...they all run about US $100 & whether any work or not, I can't say. These folks know what they're doing, but they are not cheap:

If using a PC, have you tried to see if Windows Explorer sees the pics in your camera roll or the Camera/Scanner wizard? Even in recovery mode, they might be able to see the pics...they see the phone as a digital camera.

Recovering Data from a disabled/passcoded IPhone

My Aunt has had an IPhone for quite some time and she has a lot of data on it. Contacts, photos and so forth. She recently accidentally passcoded the phone and does not know the passcode, so it is more or less disabled now.
Now the big problem, she literally never synced it with a computer.
Is their any way we can recover the data on it? Most of the guides I read would simply wipe it clean in restoring the passcode. She could care less about the phone (would be glad to upgrade to a new one), but she wants the data. The people at the AT&T store were less than helpful and basically said we are screwed.
If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Or even some place that we can send it to recover the data to place on a new phone.
Thank you much.

You need to call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store, not contact AT&T about something like this.
The passcode lock feature is to protect access to data on the iPhone in the event the iPhone is lost or stolen. If it were easy to reset the passcode, it would defeat the purpose.
The iPhone is designed to be synced with iTunes on a computer. iTunes creates and maintains a backup for the iPhone. Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup along with other data, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. Although photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are also included with the iPhone's backup, photos can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. When there are photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer.
The passcode lock is not included with the iPhone's backup. Had this iPhone been synced with iTunes on a computer on a regular basis as designed and intended, the iPhone could be restored with iTunes from the iPhone's backup.

I recently have ipad but before i sell it i made a back up of it and by an iphone when i put all the date on my iphone some files and software did not install is there anything i can do to recover the lost data? please help

I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6. That's the latest version.
Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them. And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore. Sorry about this.

I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up-but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. Please help

I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up…but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. My mum died in May and I had lots of text messages that I wanted to keep. I really want to get them back. Is there any way at all I can get that deleted data from the phone?

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone. Could any one help where exectly the memory chip (not RAM) resides in the phone. Is it on the motherboard or a seperate component in the phone?

The iPhone's internal components are soldered together. There is no way to recover data from your phone if it refuses to power up.

Recover data from iphone after upgrade to 6.0 causes recovery mode

When I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.0, unfortunately it put my phone into Recovery Mode, meaning as I understand it that I had lost all my data!! My back-up on my computer was over 14 months old, and my iCloud backup was incomplete. I used the computer back-up, not realizing how old it was, I thought it was only 2 months old, didn't catch the year.
Now I'm wondering if there's any way there might still be some data I could salvage on my phone. In particular, I am really hoping a few pictures and some videos I had taken just 3-4 days previously might be salvageable. Anyone know of a way to go about this? Or am I way too late, or was it never possible....
Hoping there might still be a chance....

I guess I could have some good news for you, atleast when it comes to your data. Its not gone, gone!
You might still be able to get back the data that exists in the backup of your phone.
Not sure how it comes out of the recovery mode, but in case you need to call people and don't have their contacts, or want to go through some texts or notes which were saved on your iPhone, then there could be some help
You can get any one of the following backup recovery softwares, which would basically extract data off your iPhone's backup and show to you on your computer
Total Saver from MyPhoneData - recovers contacts, texts, videos, photos, call history, notes. Cheapest and runs on Mac and Windows
Iphoneextractor - recovers voice memos as well. Is more expensive that the one listed above and would run only on Windows
Dr.Fone - super expensive at $100!!!! does nothing more than what the other 2 softwares listed above would do
Alright mate.. best luck getting back your data

How do I recover data from a single App using an iTunes backup and put it back on my iPhone?

An app I use (Text Me 2) automatically cleared conversation history. I have an iTunes back-up of it from last year. I tried searching a ton and found articles, but never found a step-by-step article from start to finish describing how I can get only that app's data back on my iPhone without having to restore the entire thing (otherwise I lose all of my last 6 months of content)? All the articles I read stopped after using the iPhone backup extractor to extract, and didn't tell me how to get that back onto my iPhone. I use iTunes on Mac OS Mavericks also.
Thanks in advance!

Then what's with all of the programs these two responses mention and being able to restore a single app data?
If you know you are going to do this in advance and have a jailbroken phone, use AppBackup which you can get through cydia. Otherwise, if this need arises after having restored already, you can get the data from an iPhone backup using iPhone Backup Extractor and/or a Time Machine backup (you can google to find the location of the backups, but I think it's in Application Support > Mobile Sync > Backups), and then restore the documents/library folders of the application using iExplorer (which is by the same people who made iPhone Explorer but was changed for legal reasons and now is slightly more user friendly and suited for this purpose. I just did this to restore my Angry Birds scores/data among other things.
and
I do that with iTools. You can backup each app with its data into an ipa file to the computer, to restore it individually. This allows you to merge apps with its data from different backups.
...not to mention I found several answers like this in various forums...

How can I recover photos from old iphone icloud backup to new one?

Hello, I had an iPhone 4 which I lost and inside there were some great photos that I want now to recover. In the meanwhile I bought an iPhone5S and I just realized that inside the iCloud backup menu is saying that there is a backup of 3GB of my old iPhone. How can I see if in that backup the photos are there? I have connected my iPhoto App to iCloud but it only finds photos from my new iPhone and not the old one...
Thanks for your time.

Hi, Tiago, maybe you can get help from data recovery software. Now things get easy now.
As far as I know, there are three ways to recover deleted contacts and photos from iPhone 5 with iPhone Data Recovery.
Way 1: Recover deleted photos from iPhone directly
Way 2: Using iTunes Backup to recover deleted photos
Way 3: Using iCloud Backup to recover deleted photos
You can refer the way 3 of how to recover deleted photos from iPhone to recover photos from old iPhone iCloud backup.
Good luck to you.

Data recovery on iPhone 5

Just before Christmas, I bought an iPhone 5 to replace an iPhone 3g. Intending to copy over my contacts to the new phone, I made the mistake of restoring the previous 3G backup on the iphone 5. When I restored, it erased all the photos and video I had taken the first two weeks I had the new phone. (Oddly enough, the apps I had downloaded survived). Is there any way of recovering this media?

The Camera Roll is for temporary storage. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer ASAP as with any other digital camera. The Camera Roll is also included with the iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
If the photos/videos were not imported by your computer and your iPhone synced with iTunes since the photos/videos were captured by your iPhone, you can use the Data Recovery on iPhone 5 to get them back.

Dear Apple: Can't recover data from iPad / no exploit for A5 bootrom

Dear Apple,
Looks like I'm not the only one who has had a failed upgrade to 6.1.3. Now my mother's iPad 2 is in recovery mode with 1000+ pictures lost in LaLaLand.
No recent backup, no iCloud.
I've done lots of research on how I can recover the data and the only possible way seems to be accessing the Ramdisk via SSH.
But there is no bootrom exploit for A5 devices, so it won't work.
Thanks Apple, I've lost photos of our family dog that passed this year, as well as photos from my grandmother's memorial service from this year.
I hope an Apple employee see's this...
Your process for upgrading iOS versions should be less prone to errors or failures. Required syncs or backups before upgrades should be required.
I could send my iPad to the main data recovery service Apple has partnered with... but I don't have $400 - $1200 to spend.
But even if I did, I would assume that only Apple has the power to access the data that is now in a digital vault, protected by their millions of dollars of revenue.
How can a top-leader in the consumer electronics industry let down so many of their loyal customers? Just google "recover data on iPad" or iPhone and you'll see that 1000's of people across the globe are having the same issue with iOS upgrades.
Please Apple, at least create a service to allow users to send in devices for data recovery. Only you have the power to "hack" into our devices.
Sincerly,
Forever lost memories?

Apple aren't here. This is a user to user forum.
You've lost your data because, as you said: "No recent backup, no iCloud." - that's your fault, no-one else's.
Backing up is necessary regardless of whether you are upgrading or not. Your iPad could've been stolen or damaged and you'd've lost the data the same. Apple provides you with at least 3 ways of retaining copies of your photos - you chose not to use them.
Call this a lesson learned in the consequences of not backing up as advised.

Is it possible to recover restriction passcode on iphone 4s

is it possible to recover restriction passcode on iphone 4s. Can anyone help

To restore as a new device, connect your phone to your computer, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Restore. At the end of the process you will go through the setup process again and will be given the option to restore from backup or set it up as a new iPhone. Choose to set it up as a new iPhone (see image below).
Before doing this import your photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts and calendar by syncing them with iCloud (go to Settings>iCloud, set Calendars and Contacts to On). After restoring your phone as new, sync it with iTunes to restore your apps, music and other iTunes media to your phone. You will have to set up iMessage and FaceTime again, as well as your email accounts. You wlll lose your text messages and app data as they are stored in the backup you can't use.
